This drawing serves as a good historic document in itself. The heights at Tas-Samra commanded a spectacular view of Floriana and Valletta land fronts and the Cottonera cities. Large country houses and estates then punctuated the suburb of Ħamrun spread along Strada San Giuseppe, the main road leading from Valletta to Mdina. Elements of rural life occupy the foreground of the drawing. One is able to discern important landmarks including Porte des Bombes and Sarria Church in Floriana, the Upper Barrakka Gardens and St. John\u2019s Co-Cathedral at Valletta to name a few. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe composition follows a typical structure of Pullicino's works: the horizon is placed at the centreline, dividing the composition in two. The lower half of the drawing contrasts with the void of the sky, apart from some outline drawings of clouds. In this drawing one is able to appreciate the draughtsman interpretation of the view with its linear simplicity."},"titles":{"label":"Alternate title","value":["Floriana and Valletta from Via San Giuseppe"]},"onview":{"label":"Public Access","value":"0"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"View of Floriana and Valletta from Ħamrun"},"people":{"label":"Artist / Maker / Culture","value":["Giorgio Pullicino"]},"classifications":{"label":"Classification(s)","value":["Art / Drawings"]},"beginDate":{"label":"Begin Date","value":"1790"},"node":{"label":"Node","value":"Heritage Malta"},"primaryMaker":{"label":"Primary Maker","value":"Giorgio Pullicino"},"textEntriesObjecttype":{"label":"Object Type","value":["Drawing"]},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/5970/full"},"textEntriesTechnique":{"label":"Technique","value":["Pen and ink on graphite on paper"]},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1790-1810"},"altNums":{"label":"Alternate ID Numbers","value":["FAS/D/276 (Card 16099-100)","41238-9","EEA.1670","81292"]},"locations":{"label":"Location","value":["Malta Maritime Museum, Archive"]},"department":{"label":"Museum","value":"Malta Maritime Museum"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"76.7 x 107cm (framed); 41.2 x 71.8cm (unframed)"}}]}
